“How do you teach kids to ‘let the word of Christ richly dwell within’ them when there are so many electronic distractions?”

Sure enough, there is evidence that in this age of ubiquitous social media the incidence of narcissism, anxiety (“FOMO”) and preoccupation with meaningless “information” are on the rise. Many people (not just teenagers) are digital-dependent, obsessive and compulsive about their phones. It is quite possible that these distractions have negative implications emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
